Sure seems like a major amateur fuck up to post from a 4s with the metadata un-scrubbed, and the events following seem to indicate that is exactly what happened. But, Robert king, the photographer, is no amateur, and is hardly a hack. . .veteran war photographer who has been traveling and shooting in Syria as of late, and one would think such oversight wouldn't fly by him. Vice brought out the big guns to travel with the douchey editor. Maybe said editor was so excited to boast to the world he quickly sent it in, as his headline would indicate. But, this could (should) be a red herring. Clever if so, stupid if not. Who the fuck knows at this point.
Rio Dulce is a lovely place though. Delta empties intonthe Caribbean, lovely tropical surroundings, crazy Garifuna communities, and lots of expats with questionable backgrounds and you can buy yourself incognito. If I were in that neighborhood I'd be hanging there. But surely not broadcasting to the world! Unless I wasn't actually there. . . .
The sequence of events seems to indicate this was not being smart, but being stupid. And so it goes. . .
